Project Manager

Project Manager | Main Contractor | North East | £55k – £60k + Package

We’re working with a well-established main contractor to appoint an experienced Project Manager to take full ownership of a new build retail scheme in the North East.

This is a key role within the business, requiring a strong all-rounder who can take a project from through to delivery and handover. The initial scheme is a retail development, with a clear pipeline of follow-on work in the region, offering long-term continuity for the right individual.

They are looking for someone who can truly own the project, not just manage day-to-day site activity—overseeing programme, commercial awareness, client interface, and overall delivery.

Taking full responsibility for project delivery from inception to completion

Managing programme, budgets, and overall project performance

Leading site teams, including Site Managers and subcontractors

Ensuring works are delivered safely, on time, and to required quality standards

Acting as the main point of contact for clients and consultants

Driving progress and resolving any issues across the project lifecycle

Overseeing procurement, logistics, and resource planning

Managing reporting, project updates, and stakeholder communication

Leading handover, snagging, and final account stages

What You Will Need;

Proven experience operating as a Project Manager within a main contractor environment

Strong track record delivering new build projects through to completion

Experience within retail or commercial sectors desirable

Ability to manage projects holistically, beyond day-to-day site activity

Strong commercial awareness and programme management skills

Excellent communication and leadership ability

SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid as a minimum

Why Apply?

Opportunity to take full ownership of a new build retail project

Clear pipeline of follow-on work in the North East

Work with a stable and growing contractor

Role offering real autonomy and responsibility
